Lumatek VF 120W LED

Product detailed description

Lumatek VF 120W LED - more powerful compact light for cuttings and rows

Lumatek VF 120W LED is a stronger version of the energy-saving VF range with a balanced white spectrum (Spectrum G) combining 4000K (white) and 3000K (warm white) diodes. With four light segments, it covers a longer row or a denser shelf of seedlings, cuttings and mother plants than the 90W model, while maintaining the same efficiency of 2.4 µmol/J. The slim 21 mm profile disappears between the tiers of a vertical setup.

One 650W driver, up to five VF 120W lights

The VF 120W is powered via a separate Lumatek VF driver 650W (sold separately). You can connect up to five VF 120W lights in series to one driver, so you can build a larger setup without a power supply for each panel. Due to the higher power input, the driver can handle five of them, while it can handle seven of the lower-powered 90W lights.

VF 120W, or VF 90W?

The dimensions, spectrum and efficiency of 2.4 µmol/J are the same for both - intensity is the deciding factor. The VF 120W delivers PPF 308 µmol/s and PPFD 325 µmol/m2/s, so it provides more light over the same area. The lower-powered VF 90W (PPF 244 µmol/s) is sufficient for seedlings with the lowest requirements. Choose the VF 120W where you want faster biomass growth in cuttings and mother plants.

Why the VF range pays off

The IP65 rating allows operation in damp conditions and cleaning with a damp cloth, while passive cooling runs without a fan - it does not make noise and does not draw in dust. With a declared L90 lifespan of over 60,000 hours and a 3-year Lumatek warranty, this is a light for long-term operation in propagation and vertical setups.

Frequently asked questions

How many VF 120W lights can I connect to one driver?
You can connect up to five VF 120W lights in series to one Lumatek VF driver 650W. The driver is sold separately and powers and controls all connected lights at once. This lets you build a multi-tier setup without a separate power supply for each panel and with simpler cabling.

What is the difference between VF 120W and VF 90W?
Both lights have the same dimensions, Spectrum G spectrum and 2.4 µmol/J efficiency. The VF 120W has a higher power input of 130 W, PPF 308 µmol/s and PPFD 325 µmol/m2/s, so it delivers more light. The VF 90W (PPF 244 µmol/s) is intended for seedlings with the lowest intensity requirements.

How do I dim and switch the VF 120W?
You can set the brightness in OFF-25-50-75-100 % steps on the 650W driver, with a manual dimmer or via a controller. For switching with a timer, use a switch that interrupts the live wire - switching the neutral wire can cause LED glow. The most convenient option is control via the Lumatek controller.
